Our view

“Home” is an assured eleventh Myron Bolitar thriller from Harlan Coben, built on twists and an unusual kind of hero. Some readers who pick it up without the earlier books end up going back to the start of the series. Others enjoy the writing but see the main surprise coming. Long-time fans will be glad of more time with the sports agent who solves crimes on the side.
